Antilipid Therapy
Antilipid Therapy for Grapevine, and Colleyville Texas
Have you heard? Lowering excessive lipids within your body can improve your heart health. Lipids are the fatty molecules within your blood. They become elevated from excess eating of unhealthy foods, and from genetic problems. If you suffer from elevated blood lipids, there is help for you.
Lipids are divided into “good” lipids and “bad” lipids. A simple blood test can help evaluate your lipid status and let us know if you have too many “bad” lipids and not enough “good” lipids. Elevated “bad” lipids in your blood can worsen your heart health. Decreased “good” lipids can do the same. Getting the proper ratio is key to appropriate treatment. Once evaluated, we can then recommend Anti-lipid therapy for you to improve your lipid status.
Therapy for these problems may include a proper diet, increased exercise, weight loss and exercise. There are many medications available to you to help lower the “bad” lipids and help increase your “good” lipids. If identified, lipid problems are relatively easily treated and should therefore be a therapy that everyone should consider if indicated. It goes without saying, if we can improve your heart health, we can improve your life and your quality of life.
